JP1 Remotes

[CollieJim]

I just received my new USB cable from DIY Gadget - 10 days via airmail to Austraila. I downloaded the software and Windows driver from their website and installed it separately (different drive) from the stuff I used with the parallel interface.

The first problem I had was that every time I plugged the USB cable into a hub Windows wanted to install a new device. When plugged directly into the computer the problem went away.

Windows shows the Delcom driver installed, and IR.EXE reports the driver working OK. However when I try to download from remote, I get an error: "Unable to open device. Please check connection." I get the same message whether the interface is plugged in or not. I have USB selected in the Interface menu.

I downloaded the latest driver and IR from the files section, but still got the same error message.

What next?
TIA
Jim

btw, When I searched the forum for "unable to open device" using Google I got 6 hits, 5 of which returned "Template->loadfile(): No file specified for handle qrbody". The 6th was dated 2003.

Thanks. I thought it might be Google related after I posted.

Problem solved. It was a registry problem. I made sure all the references to the jp1 directory pointed to the new location and the download worked.
